I recently got the opportunity to review the Lands’ End’s Men’s SnowSystem Jacket. With Winter on it’s way (and I needed a new coat anyways) I agreed to review it here on DadThing!

I’ve owned quite a few jackets in my life time and am usually pretty rough on them. I have a Carhartt coat that I have been wearing for almost three years now because it is about the only thing that will take the abuse I will give it.

However, it is not so great for the semi-cold weather…and it is heavy.

That’s what I liked about the Land’s End jacket system It is a dual layer jacket system that can be worn in three configurations. You can wear just the inner layer for the semi-cold weather. You can wear just the outside layer for more of a wind-breaker with a hood. Or, you can combine the two for an ultimate jacket!

The jacket is extremely light, yet warm.

We recently went on a mini-vacation to Indiana (post coming in the next few days) and it was quite cold. We went on a nature hike along the Ohio river. Momma did not have a warm jacket, so I let her wear this one. She was not cold at all while Ace and I were popsicle-esque.

The only complaint Momma had about the jacket was that it was slick. It was hard to keep Ace’s diaper bag over her shoulder without it sliding off.

Now while I would not wear this jacket go out to cut fire wood or work on my truck, I would definitely wear it to go to work, the grocery store, or even skiing! (Which I might actually do again this year after not skiing for the past 7 years).

So if you are in need of a good warm winter jacket, check out the Lands’ End’s Men’s SnowSystem Jacket.

Full disclosure: I received the Lands’ End’s Men’s SnowSystem Jacket as a sample.
